Twenty millisecond radio pulsars have now been observed in the globular cluster 47 Tuc. This is by far the largest sample of radio pulsars known in any globular cluster. These recent observations provide a unique opportunity to re-examine theoretically the formation and evolution of recycled pulsars in globular clusters.
